Vera Dyson settled in Wimberley, Texas to raise her two children over twenty years ago. Prior to that she spent a number of years in Europe practicing regenerative farming and later in Texas she landscaped using native plants.

 

She has nearly two decades of experience teaching children ages 2.5-6. Much of her teaching experience has been as the Lead Guide in a Montessori school. She’s also held several other teaching positions throughout her life and considers herself a lifelong educator and learner. She feels blessed to have had the opportunity to incorporate a nature based curriculum in her classroom.

 

One of the things she finds most joyful about teaching is instilling in the children a sense of awe and wonder about the world. In this way she can support their natural excitement for learning. Vera believes if we guide the children to loving our planet they will naturally want to take care of it. Above all Vera believes in the child; in their capacity to learn social/emotional skills, independence, kindness, as well as, academic skills.

 

Vera has also enjoyed teaching yoga and art to both children and adults. In her spare time you may find her practicing yoga on her back patio, drawing, hiking, or spending time in her garden. Now that her children are grown she is adjusting to the change in her family life by traveling more, writing comedy and creating floral designs.
